Rosemary

Rosemary, like many of our favourite culinary herbs, comes from the Mediterranean region. However it is quite hardy and is grown successfully (to giant, bush like sizes) here in Vancouver. Many people here in Van grow it in their yards as an ornamental feature, or perhaps they choose it for its aromatic properties...
Anyhow, it is very easy to forage around here, but I don't see many people doing that. Probably that is because most people are shy to forage for food in urban areas. However, in the off chance that someone is not optimizing on an opportunity to forage for a delicious ingredient because they don't know what to do with it, I will give you an idea...
combine it with GARLIC!
I season roast potatoes, roasted pumpkin seeds, pastas and breads with this, and that is just the beginning of what can be done. Don't let this free culinary experience pass you by.
